Maybe my Father's love of the IROC Camaro (and having owned one) and those type of 3rd Gen F-body cars. I think they're ugly, underpowered and even bigger way of saying f:censored: yeah murica. The sad reality was they weren't even close to the highest performing GM car you could get (nor was the Corvette for that era), though the 1LE IROC looked somewhat cool stock and could be taken to SCCA from the dealer it wasn't amazing.
Sadly I know far more about these cars (for reasons on line 1) then I really wish I did. Yes they can be made quite cool and fast depending on preference but then again that doesn't define the cool wall are the cars voted on it. This car is an uncool for me. Oh wait, this is the Firebird which to me is worse because it's far more ugly the carried over graphics from the 1st gen don't match the shape or the body of this, and not to be stereotypical but it seems like the quintessential up star sports car for any Mexican trying to become a drug lord...or at least that's the way I always felt around my relatives that owned one (no none were drug lords...long).
Anyways yeah...probably the most hated era of American cars for me, and the most uncool group I can think of next tot he box shaped sedans that the Big 3 produced during the same era.
As I child I loved Knight Rider, but K.I.T.T still managed to scare me similar to the talking couch in Pee Wee Herman's playhouse.
Actually I remember that the convertible looked pretty good, which if I had remembered sooner I'd have put it an uncool...too late now.
